Our son and daughter-in-law came to my rescue today for an easy, fast but very cute post. This photo is theirs. They were adding books to the Little Lending Library on their walk, and the sweetie at the bottom of the photo popped through the bushes, to wag his tail and say hello. Sweetie’s human also said hello nearby. Their garden is right next to the walking path, and he came over to retrieve his darling pup. He is the person who built the library and supplied it with books. His little dog is called Cowboy. Applauding them both for their community spirit and kindness, which includes our son and daughter-in-law for the same, plus a big thank for letting me share their photo today.
I am still not quite there for putting a longer post together, or visiting you all. Soon I hope! Thank you from both of us for your well-wishes here, texting and emails. I will answer soon. Plodding along we are and heading in the right direction, but still feel the need to take the rest of the week off.
Putting out books for others to take, read and pass on is a good idea. Second hand books are sometimes left in redundant telephone boxes here in the UK for folk to take and read. The puppy is a sweetie. I hope you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, all better now. Lovely to think of the old telephone boxes getting a second life through books :)
DeleteGood idea.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much improved and may you both feel better in another week.
Thank you Margaret, late catching up but all better now :)
DeleteI love community libraries. Look after yourselves. We will be here when you are ready to return.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful I agree :) Thank you for the kind comment Sue.
DeleteAww, look at that cute little guy. Maybe he's the official library greeter :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon.
Thank you Ann, late catching up and I have been back to normal for several days now :)

Thank you Eileen. I am late getting to my comments but catching up every so slowly. You take care and enjoy your day and week also :)

Deletesorry the dreaded covid bug is hanging around so long. hope you feel better after a restful week end. I am thinking that sweetie thinks people are stealing his humans books... hope you found one to read while you rest
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra :) Good little watch keeper! I am late catching up on comments and we are okay now.
DeleteFirst of all, I love those free little libraries, and this one is so cute that the neighbor built. What a darling photo this is, and that little Cowboy really makes the picture. Don't worry about putting together a long post. Sometimes, short and sweet ones are the best. A little of this and a little of that makes a delightful post. And pictures like this one says it all. ; ) Feel better, Denise.

ReplyDeleteHi Pam, a peek a boo I think Pam, lol!
DeleteHello Denise! I do hope you and Gregg feel much better soon! Rest up and don't worry about long blog posts at all. This one is perfect. What a sweet little blue-eyed puppy. As for the little library, well, what can I say. Books are always a good idea. So lovely to have them shared in this way. Lots of love to you from Southern California.
ReplyDeleteHi Sara, thank you so much for the good advice and sentiments. I will be going down to the little library soon, I have a lot of old books that hopefully people will enjoy :)
DeleteSomebody put up a little library down the street but I haven't been able to get to it because of utility work being done for some weeks and they park their big truck right next to the library.
ReplyDeleteHi Yogi, well, I hope you have been able to get to it by now :)
DeleteTake care of yourselves and rest well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen, I did and still take naps!!! :)
DeleteThese little libraries are such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourselves and get plenty of rest.
All the best Jan
They certainly are :) Thank you Jan, much appreciated and all the best to you too :)
DeleteWe have several of these Little Lending Libraries around Nashua and the Friends group of the library adds to them on a regular basis. Glad to read that you are both on the mend and rest is a good thing, so take all the time you need to energize and feel better as fellow bloggers will still be here.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful aren't they? Yes, we're over it and feeling blessed for it. Thank you Dorothy :)
